Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a program of leadership and military skills training. It prepares St. Bonaventure University students for officer responsibilities in the active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard following graduation or after deferment to attend advanced civilian schooling.
Students do not have to contract with ROTC, however, to take part in this organization. The classes are electives you can try out for up to two years with no obligation. Unlike traditional college programs, we give you a wide range of experiences while you work toward your degree. You'll combine classroom time with hands-on experience, learning skills and acquiring leadership traits that are sure to give you an edge over your peers when it comes time to look for a job.
A variety of clubs and organizations exist as a part of ROTC. If a student takes ROTC courses, and becomes an active member, they are able to participate in each one of these groups:
St. Bonaventure ROTC Color Guard is an organization filled with military tradition. The color guard presents both the schools colors and the American flag at St. Bonaventure and local sporting events. The Color Guard also participates in local ceremonies including the 9/11 and Veterans Day ceremonies.
Though only five members appear at each event, there are many members of St. Bonaventure ROTC Color Guard, consisting of both contracted ROTC cadets and cadets who have become active members and are taking the class for fun.
St. Bonaventure Ranger Challenge is the varsity sport of ROTC. It is an intense club that takes weeks of training in preparation for competition at designated military bases.
Ranger Challenge is a group of elite ROTC cadets. The team practices and competes in a number of events against other teams from the region. These events include a physical training test, creating and crossing a rope bridge, a ruck march with more than 40 pounds of equipment and much more.
Cadets and ROTC members try out for this organization, but only a few are accepted to go on to additional training and compete.
The Gold Bar Club is the organization within the ROTC unit at St. Bonaventure that raises funds for ROTC activities not involving training.
The Gold Bar Club is also heavily involved in community service such as sponsoring Little League games and work with The Warming House. The club's fundraising is responsible for the annual military ball, which is attended by more 375 people including St. Bonaventure and local officials, as well as others from the campus and community.
The Gold Bar membership includes all ROTC cadets at St. Bonaventure, as well as those students who are taking ROTC courses and wish to participate. Although this club consists mainly of ROTC students, all students are welcome to join.

The Testament of Solomon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Testament of Solomon is an Old Testament pseudepigraphical work, the authorship of which is ascribed to King Solomon. It describes how Solomon was enabled to build the Temple by commanding demons by means of a magical ring entrusted to him by the Archangel Michael.
Despite the text's claim to have been a first-hand account of King Solomon's construction of the Temple of Jerusalem, its original publication dates sometime between the 1st and 5th centuries, over a thousand years after King Solomon's death and the temple's completion.
The real author or authors of the text remain unknown. The text was originally written in Greek and contains numerous theological and magical themes ranging from Christianity and Judaism to Greek mythology and Astrology that hint at possibly a Christian writer with a Greek background.
The text reads like a self-help manual against demonic activity, with a moral to follow.
When a demon named Ornias harasses a young lad (who is favored by Solomon) by stealing half his pay and sucking out his vitality through the lad's thumb on his right hand, Solomon prays in the temple and receives from the archangel Michael a ring with the seal of God (in the shape of a Pentalpha having the name of God inscribed within) on it which will enable him to command the demons (c.f. Seal of Solomon). Solomon lends the ring to the lad who, by throwing the ring at the demon Ornias, stamps him with the seal and brings him under control. Then Solomon orders the demon Ornias to take the ring and similarly imprint the prince of demons who is Beelzeboul/Beelzebul.
With Beelzebul under his command Solomon now has the entire race of demons at his bidding to build the temple. Beelzebul reveals he was formerly the highest ranking angel in Heaven.
In Chapter 18 the demons of the 36 decans appear with names that sometimes seem to be conscious distortions of the traditional names for the decans and claim responsibility mostly for various ailments and pains. They provide the magical formulae by which they may be banished. For example, the thirty-third demon is Rhyx Phtheneoth who causes sore throat and tonsilitis and can be driven off by writing the word Leikourgos on ivy leaves and heaping them into a pile.
Solomon's final demon encounter involves sending a servant boy with his ring to take captive a wind demon who is harassing the land of Arabia. The boy is to hold a wineskin against the wind with the ring in front of it, and then tie up the bag when it is full. The boy succeeds in his task and returns with the wineskin. The imprisoned demon calls himself Ephippas and it is by his power that a corner stone, thought to be too large to lift, is raised into the entrance of the temple.
Then Ephippas and another demon from the Red Sea bring a miraculous column made of something purple (translation obscure) from out of the Red Sea. This Red Sea demon reveals himself as Amelouith who claimed to be the demon who supported the Egyptian magicians against Moses and who hardened Pharaoh's heart but had been caught with the Egyptian host when the sea returned and held down by this pillar until Ephippas came and together they could lift it.
There follows a short conclusion in which Solomon describes how he fell in love with a Shunammite woman and agreed to worship Rephan and Moloch. Solomon agrees to sacrifice to them, but only sacrifices the blood of locust by simply crushing them with his hand. Immediately, the Spirit of God departs from him and he is made foolish and his name a joke to both humans and demons.
Along with the negative presentation she is given in the Bible, the Testament of Solomon presents the Queen of Sheba as a witch, indicating that the author had an awareness of Jewish tradition, which had argued the same.
Solomon concludes his text with a warning to mankind. He reminds mankind not to be like he was; to be both aware of the present and the future: To understand the consequences of your actions before you act.
Judeo-Christian themes
The appearance of the archangel Michael is the first example of the Judeo-Christian theme surrounding the text.
Perhaps the most intriguing Judeo-Christian theme found inside the text was during King Solomon's encounter with the demon Ephippas. While working on the temple, Ephippas is asked by Solomon why he is frustrated. The demon replies that he is concerned over the only thing that can truly take away his powers and defeat him. It was going to be a man born of a virgin who will be crucified on a cross by the Romans prodded on by the Jews. The "prediction" that Ephippas makes is actually one of the primary indicators that the text was written in the New Testament Era.
A possible reference to the powers of Solomon, and pehaps the Testament of Solomon, is found in Luke 11:29,31. Jesus says (NIV), "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign. The Queen of the South will rise in judgement with the men of this generation...for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here." It is generally accepted that this is in reference to Solomon's wisdom, but the supernatural qualities of the verses may suggest more.
The book is a crude formulation of conceptions regarding demonic power that were almost universal in the Jewish and the Christian world for many centuries. The belief that Solomon had power over demons is found as early as Josephus ("Ant." viii. 2, §, 5); the Book of Enoch shows the disposition to multiply demonic names; and the character of Asmodeus in the Testament is taken from the Book of Tobit. The demonological literature of the first thousand years of the common era is enormous. The author of the Testament was a Greek-speaking Jewish Christian: the demons, it is said, will rule the world till the Son of God, who is spoken of as born of a virgin, shall be hung on the cross. The date of the work can not be fixed precisely. Bornemann discovers a close resemblance between its demonological conceptions and those of the "Institutiones" of Lactantius (about the year 300), and it is probable that it belongs not far from that time.
Greek mythology
The Testament of Solomon, along with its Judeo-Christian theme, infuses Greek and other mythological elements into its work.
The most obvious of Greek influence is Solomon's encounter with seven demons who are sisters. They introduce themselves to the King and describe their home amongst the stars and Mount Olympus. The seven demon-sisters represent the Pleides of Greek Mythology and as well as their astrological relationship.
Solomon also encounters a woman demon who has no limbs and a head with full of dishevelled hair. It is argued that she actually represents Medusa or a gorgon-like creature from Greek mythology.
The demon Enepsigos recounts to King Solomon at one point during the temple's construction that he can take the shape of three different physical forms, one of which being the Greek mythological god of time, Kronos. Moreover, Epenpsigos is also represented as a triple-faced woman akin to Hecate, and is likewise astrologically associated with the sphere of the moon.
Many of the demons in Solomon's encounters are of Greek, Jewish, Christian, Arabic, and other traditions. The Testament is a primary account of how religion, magic, and legends all are intertwined with each other particularly during the first to fifth century C.E. in and around the Mediterranean region.[citation needed] Most of the rest of the work contains Solomon's interviews with the demons, some of whom are quite grotesque, including one in the shape of a dog and another who has no head and sees through its breasts. Two demons associated strongly with sexuality appear amongst them - Asmodeus from the Book of Tobit, and a female demon named Obyzouth, identical to Lilith in all but name, including the strangling of newborn children. Most of the other demons are otherwise unknown by name from other works, even though this does not seem to be new lore but a bundling of various bits of demon-lore from mixed sources.[citation needed] The demon Abezethibou is said to have hardened pharaoh's heart, and not God.

I am cursed as a member of middle management, which means part of my responsibility in real life is to filter the resumes of potential employees. It does occasionally give me something to laugh about, but mostly it just gives me the chance to mess with document converters.
By and large, most of the resumes I get are in Microsoft Word format, which means antiword is almost a necessity. antiword is probably my favorite for the transition to plain text, mostly because its requirements are extremely light — only glibc, if that can be believed.
At the same time it has enough frills to keep it usable, including showing hidden text or document revisions, formatting for specific outputs and so forth. Again, as I am usually just looking for something amusing in some poor innocent applicant's resume, I don't have a whole lot of demands that I put on it. And if you look at its home page, its been ported into just about every architecture from the Amiga up, which not a lot of software can say.
On the other hand, it is slowly becoming out-of-date, with version 0.37 stamped October 2005. It hasn't failed me yet though, which probably speaks more to the efforts of applicants, who probably pick a safe file format to make sure their resume is readable. How quaint. … 😈
As an alternative, wv2 is a lot more recent, seeing its last update in October of 2009. It may be newer but in my book it has a few strikes against it. First, it seems to require some outside programs to do the job — every time I try to convert a doc file to text it clamors after something like elinks or lynx, and I don't understand enough of its mechanics to understand why.
On top of that, it has libgsf as one of its dependencies, and anything with the word "Gnome" in it is anathema to me. I know, I'm being superficial, but antiword already does this job for me rather well, and installing something heavier to do the same job goes against my principles. 🙄
Very rarely I get a docx file, and when that happens I have to rely on docx2txt to get at the guts of it. docx2txt is a perl script that apparently, mystically, magically relies on nothing else to get the job done. It does that job very well though, and can carry along some of the document information or even some formatting, if told to.
I've only needed it once or twice, but in neither of those situations did it give me any hassles. Again, it wasn't doing anything mission-critical and it may be that it strikes you as rather light on features, but in the case of simple document conversion, it did what it claimed it would do.
I have never gotten a resume in OpenOffice format, but when I do, I shall hire that person on the spot. Provided I can read their resume of course, and in that case I'll probably rely on o3read. I've used o3read plenty of times in the past and it always pleases me to see it spin quickly through a document, spitting out the good stuff and tossing the bad stuff down /dev/null. Or wherever it goes.
If you check the link you'll see that the source for o3read is the home of Siag Office, which is probably one of the lightest full-featured office suites you can get for nothing. If you don't live at the command line you might want to take a look at Siag, because while it's not particularly gorgeous, it's impressive as an example of lightweight graphical software.
o3read is similarly clean-cut and to-the-point. It can handle sxw and sxc files and does a very nice job separating out the information I want, and giving it to me in a manageable form. Best of all, you don't have to install OpenOffice.org to use it. It's the little things in life that you must savor. … 😉
That's about it. Between two or more of those tools I can generally accomplish my real-life job requirements, and perhaps get a small bit of comedy on the side. The moral of the story is, don't send me your resume.

We've had one Jin knife on the website since for a little while now. However, for quite some time, we've had about 30 of them in stock in the store. We finally got around to shooting photos of most of the Jin knives we have in stock tonight... we're going to shoot photos of the rest tomorrow night and try to get them all up for sale this weekend or early next week. There are quite a few, so bear with us. Here's a teaser shot to take care of you for the meantime.

Don't think this was unexpected
4,800 words, courtesy of WestAllisNOW.com's unofficial travel reporter (all times PST and are approximate)...
Saturday 11-7 @ 10:00 AM - Having arrived in Las Vegas an hour earlier, and not needing to claim any checked bags, (Sponsor's Name Here)'s Official Poker Friends - I'll call the oldest one Pat, the youngest one I'll call Ben, and Ben's step-father will be Scott - made record time through the car rental process and have just arrived at the South Point casino and are playing our first No-Limit Texas Hold 'em tournament of the trip.
On the drive to South Point, Pat made the announcement that his answer to any question would be "yes". This is really helpful in the impromptu-stuff department, not as much in the "Pat, if you win over $1000, do you agree that it should be split four-ways?" department. Ever the opportunist, Pat neglected to tell us that "yes" could always be followed by a comma and the rest of a qualifier, as in "Yes, we can split the money evenly, as long as you sign a contract that I get 25% of your payroll in perpetuity". And we thought Pat would be the fuddy-duddy of the group!
The South Point is a few years old, and is large, modern and brightly lit. Last April, My-Sugar-Na and I had dinner there at Primarily Prime Rib, and I had encouraged the Official Poker Friends to try the tournament here. The entry fee was $50, and the tournament had about 30 or so players. They have three tables playing, and I am not seated with anyone else in our group.
11:30 AM - I have never claimed to be a really good poker player, but I had been holding my own despite not getting a lot of good cards. About 90 minutes in, however, I've been knocked out of the tournament, and a short time later, so has Ben and Scott. Pat is carrying the torch for the rest of us. South Point's poker room is right next to the sports book, so I sit down and watch a little of the Badgers game.
12:00 Noon - I find Ben and Scott playing a video poker machine right next to the poker room and I make the keenest observation of the trip (he says, patting his back)... "We never took into account what we are supposed to do if three of us get knocked out of the tournament and have to wait hours for the last guy". Scott flashes his "Damn, you're right" look. Now, seeing that this is Las Vegas, you aren't at a loss for things to do. However, we are there to play poker and the non-poker-playing down time has suddenly left us with this conflicted "Win the tournament, but we are bored so win it quickly" feeling. This is not to be confused with the "Just lose the thing 'cause we're tired of hanging around" feeling. But it is similar to the "If we hang around waiting much longer for you to win, I will lose my entire vacation fund before we get to the next tournament" feeling.
1:00 PM - The website Las Vegas Advisor has a monthly list of Top 10 values, and the prime rib dinner in the Coronado Cafe in the South Point for $13 has been listed for awhile. I decided to stop in for a quick lunch, and I can say that the prime rib was very good. I was not as impressed, however, with the rest of the food. The salad was ice cold (as if it had just been taken from the refrigerator) and the lettuce was brown around the edges. I never got the bread that I had asked for. I had also asked for sour cream in which to dip my fries (my hatred for that vile red serum that many of you know as ketchup will be lifelong in duration) and the sour cream was hard as a rock. French fries broke in the dunking process. I left very full, and having enjoyed the meat (and let's be honest. I didn't got to eat the salad and fries).
1:30 PM - Pat is high as a cloud and kicking his heals through the casino. He made it to the final three players in the tournament, and all three decided to split the prize money instead of playing on. He now has a few hundred bucks and is practically running back to the car on a self-proclaimed "poker high" (not as novel as Ben's introduction of "food high" from a couple of blogs ago, but clever nonetheless).
As Pat has us all infectiously skipping out of the South Point, the abundance of cowboy hats has become a point of discussion. At first, we saw a couple of people in cowboy hats and didn't think much of it. While waiting for Pat to finish playing, I played a little craps and saw the boxman in a cowboy hat. But as the casino filled up, there were Stetsons all over the place. Scott mentioned that South Point has a lot of rodeo events, so there must have been something going on. It just seemed a little creepy.
Before we left Milwaukee, Pat printed a list of poker tournaments with buy-ins under $100. There are two games that start at 2:00, and I believe that the Joker's Wild in Henderson is a bit closer than the tournament in downtown, so we get back on good ol' I-215 and set our course for Henderson.
2:00 PM - Joker's Wild is a locals joint. A casino not bigger than a hole in the wall, and they may not want to hear it, but it is not particularly inviting. The poker room is four worn out tables in the corner. We sit down with 20 locals who all know each other. This wasn't a tournament ($28 buy-in), this was a house party held at a casino.
Early on, I was dealt A-10, and the flop was A-10-8. I made a big bet, and there was a middle-aged lady who gave me that "Who the hell invited you to the party"? look. She actually said "I don't trust visitors who find our game". Classic! She went all-in over the top of me, and I called her. The problem was that a third person also called us. Oops. This lady had A-8, so she made a bad read on me, but the third caller had two hearts and made his flush when the flop was all hearts. In theory, he should have not called two all-ins when his hole cards were only 2-4... if two people are all-in ahead of him, he should have thought that maybe one of us also had two hearts which had to have been higher than us. But we didn't have two hearts, the turn and river failed me and I was relegated to the casino floor. It didn't take long for the other three to bust out of this tournament. You would think that good poker would favor the good players, but it seemed more like Survivor; like the locals decided to eliminate the intruders first. We busted out so quick that I never even got a chance to play $2 craps!
4:00 PM - We have arrived at our home for the next two days, the Golden Gate hotel in downtown. The building was built in1906 and parts of the hotel (especially the hallways) looked it. But for $57 on Saturday and $19 on Sunday, it was in our wheelhouse. I had seen this review and the photos made it seem like it would be acceptable. The comment was made (and repeated, and repeated, and repeated) that if the wives saw the place, immediate phone calls would have been made to find a "real" hotel, but for a group of guys there to play poker, it certainly fit the bill.
After a quick meal in the Bay City Diner (located in the Golden Gate. Review? It was rated as lousy by all four of us) we headed down the Strip to the Sahara, site of our 7:00 PM tournament. Once our group decided to play there, I was excited. My-Sugar-Na and I spent our honeymoon at the Sahara and had a memorable time. I wasn't a poker player at the time so I never tried their game.
7:30 PM - The game at Sahara was quite large. We were all amazed to see about 140 people at a game that cost a moderate $45 per person. I started this game by not getting any cards to play, and spent a lot of time folding. When Pat (who, remember, won the first tournament we played in that day) was done only 25 minutes in, I was conflicted. On the outside, my eyes were saying "That's horrible. Tough break, man." Inside, my mind was jumping and shouting "OHMIGOSH!! I LASTED LONGER THAN PAT!! Yippie!" As my mind was Yippie!ing, I also saw Ben walk past. Then I got concerned that half of our group was gone in a half hour.
8:30 PM - The tournament took a 10-minute break at the top of the hour, and I had commented to Ben that these players seem better than what we had faced earlier, and that there are so many of them. Don't know why I did it to myself, but talking to Ben about being inferior was the death knell of my tournament. Shortly after the break ended, I was out. I barely found Pat and Ben when Scott came looking for us. At this point, we were pokered-out, and it was time to see the side if Las Vegas you can't see from the poker room.
9:30 PM - We've parked at the parking garage at O'Sheas and started walking aimlessly south. We got to the Flamingo Hilton and the doors were wide open and the music was thump-thumping out. We looked inside and saw the Go-Go dancer in a cage right at the entrance. We all looked for a moment, gaping at what we saw. Then Scott, Ben and I walked away. About 20 steps later, we realized we were short one guy, and I went to drag Pat out of the Flamingo.
10:30 PM - By this time (which translates to after midnight back home) we were all feeling the effects of getting up 20 hours earlier to catch our flight. On a guy's weekend, that means only one thing... "Let's go for 24!" VEGAS, Woooooo!
11:00 PM - We've walked to the Bellagio to watch the fountains Sing in the Rain, and headed over to Caeser's Palace to say that we were in Caeser's Palace. Earlier in the day, I've decided that my new favorite hobby is to collect $1 chips from every casino in which I gamble. While at Caeser's, I stick a couple of bucks in a slot machine so I have met the conditions of getting a chip. I walk onto the casino floor to buy a chip from a dealer and I look for an empty table so I don't look like a big moke. The first table I get to is completely empty... it is a $200 minimum Pai Gow Poker table. I keep walking until I find another table that actually uses $1 chips and I make my purchase. I have realized that Caeser's is not the place for me, and we head back to the car. (Side note about Caeser's Palace... if you begin hopping in the front door to find a bathroom, go to your right. Wanna know how I know? Because we went left and ended up hopping past three restaurants and a gift shop.)
Sunday 11-8 @ 2:00 AM - Our car is asleep for the night, and after moving from Binion's to the 4 Queens, so is Pat. Scott, Ben and I however, decide to soldier on and hit the Golden Nugget next. I am not gambling much as I don't like slots, but I do stick a $20 in a video poker now and again. The Golden Nugget has this big, community E-bay branded row of slots (when one person gets the bonus round, all players currently playing win, too). Ben tells me how much fun this is, so we sit down and play. In a not-too-subtle effort to bleed every penny from a player in a hurry, this bank of slots also has a bonus timer.... the faster you play, the larger the potential bonus. So if you hit the "repeat bet" button within a second or so of the end of the previous game, then you will get the max multiplier when the bonus game starts. I stick a $100 bill in this stupid machine, and very quickly bleed it down to $33 before I bail. It happened so fast that Ben and I never got the drinks that we ordered from the waitress. I do make a point, however, of telling Ben how much fun I had playing the E-bay slot.
2:30 AM - Woo-hoo! 24 hours! 3 of us made it.
3:00 AM - Back at the Golden Gate, we consider heading back to our room, but we see that our venerable old casino also has Go-Go dancers. But these dancers also deal blackjack when not on stage. Ben falls in love with one of the dealers and we sit down at her table (Side note, I don't like blackjack too much. I don't like the dealers getting a five-card 21, I don't like other players who complain because you do/don't take a hit when they think you should, and I don't like the fact that I always seem to have a 9-6 when the dealer has a K showing. However, being one of the guys, I sit down, shut up, and play.) It is a $5 minimum table, and very quickly I've won three hands in a row. I press my bet to $10, and right away get an opportunity to double (success!) and press again to $15. "The Book" is working to perfection. Every time the dealer gets a bust card, she busts. Every time I double, I win. I decide I like this game, as I am about $200 up in about 20 minutes.
3:20 AM - The dealer gets tapped out, and a replacement dealer comes over.
3:40 AM - This Go-Go dealer can't count, and she apparently didn't read "The Book" either. More than once, Scott has busted, but she says "congratulations". When more than three cards are showing, you can read her lips as she is counting to herself. And the worst part? My $200 in profits is down to about $50. She wasn't even as pretty as the previous dealer. All three of us decide that we've stayed a few hands to long, and decide to actually go to bed.
4:30 AM - Wake up to use the bathroom.
5:30 AM - Wake up to use the bathroom.
6:30 AM - Wake up to use the bathroom. Apparently ordering a ginger ale every time a waitress comes around does nothing to help the goal of sleeping through the night.
7:30 AM - Wake up to use the bathroom. However, this time, I also send a text to My-Sugar-Na asking if she is up. She asks me what I am doing awake. I say I don't know. I also get up. This is Vegas, after all. Almost four hours of sleep after 25 hours awake is plenty.
9:00 AM - Before we left Milwaukee, I surfed the internet looking for a Packers bar and I have found a place called Badger Cafe/Rum Runners on Tropicana. Ben has decided to watch the game with me while Scott and Pat decide to stay downtown and play in a tournament at Binions. Not exactly sure how we ended up at the Fremont (oh, now I remember. They had a Dunkin' Donuts there, and it won out over McDonalds at Fitzgeralds). But I make singularly the best and worst sports bets of the weekend. Among other things, I place a too-large bet on the Packers, and a bet on the money line on San Diego Chargers (which pays me 2:1 if SD wins straight up. More on that later.)
10:00 AM - Ben and I arrive at Rum Runners and it from the second we walk in, we are no longer in Vegas, instead we are back in Wisconsin. There must be 150 - 200 Packer fans, all wearing green and gold, getting ready to watch the game. The story is that the owner of the bar moved from New Berlin in the early-90s and it didn't take too long to become a place to watch the Packers play. The advent of DirecTV and the Sunday Ticket package cemented it. They also have a Packer Backers club - for $35 you get a membership card and T-shirt, and every time you go to Rum Runners to watch a game you get a free drink for every Packers TD, and a bratwurst buffet lunch at halftime.
As we settle in, Ben and I have met a few very nice former Wisconsinites. I don't remember the first guy's name (but he had a gorgeous Ferrari) but the second guy, Butch, was an exec at Green Bay Packaging a long time ago, and when they got bought out he took his money and started a company in the Las Vegas valley right at the time the building craze started. These guys have offered us seating at their private table, and have offered us their bratwurst buffet. The welcome that we got from those guys was so 180 different from the eerie feeling we got at the Joker's Wild the day before.
11:15 AM - It's almost halftime, and although we were offered the bratwurst, they also 'fess up that it isn't very good. They recommended the 1/2# burger instead ($3.25 base, add $.75 for bacon and $.30 for a green chile) and it was absolutely incredible. It was so good, Ben and I were licking the waxed paper after eating that last, succulent morsel.
11:30 AM - Hell, we decide to have the bratwurst, too. VEGAS, Wooooo!
1:20 PM - After watching the Packers "Wake up and go to the bathroom" the game away, we thank our new friends Butch and Ferrari for their hospitality, and we head back downtown. We find out that Scott and Pat have just started a poker tournament at The Plaza, so Ben and I go there to join them. The tournament costs $45, and there are about 25 entrants.
4:20 PM - Either I became a brilliant poker player overnight, the players were horrible, or I got damn lucky because I am in the final three players in this tournament (top three cash). It was most likely luck, because once we were at the final table of 9, most of the bigger stacks knocked each other out - at one point, three fell in three consecutive hands. I also got lucky when I knocked out the third guy as I called an all-in with top two pair against a flopped set, but managed a flush when the fourth club fell on the river.
4:20:30 PM - At the same moment as I am trying to win this tournament, I have one eye on the Chargers game, as they are driving up the field for what will become the game-winning score, and a win for my money line bet. But I can't let it distract me from winning the tournament.
4:21 PM - OK, the Chargers winning didn't distract me, but I made a play for the pot with a semi-crappy hand (K 8 off-suit) and my opponent had a real hand. I wasn't all in, but I may as well have been. He probably has four times as many chips as I do.
4:22 PM - Within seconds, I get dealt an Ace, my opponent puts me all in, and I decide that either I will double up my chips, or it will be dinner time. I don't win the hand, and my second place finish is worth $193.
5:00 PM Today, it seems that with every up (having a great time at Rum Runners) there is a down (the Packers giving the game away). So I leave The Plaza on a high after cashing in the tournament... there's gonna be a crash. When we were in Vegas in April, My-Sugar-Na and my parents and I have a great dinner at the Hash House A Go-Go. When I planned this trip, My-Sugar-Na bought me a certificate on Restaurants.com to take my buddies there. Imagine my horror when we found out that it is closed on Sunday nights. Not necessarily the horror of missing the Andy's Hand-Hammered Pork Tenderloin (no, really. That picture is of that dinner. Would I lie to you?) dinner, the horror of having to explain to my beautiful bride on how we didn't use that certificate. Impromptu-ly, the four of us decide that since the certificate expires in early-October, next year's trip will be taken on the weekend of October 1 and 2, 2010.
5:45 PM - Since Red Rock casino is reasonably near the Hash House, and since they have a 6:30 tournament, we are now in this massive, opulent casino, trying to find which of the dozen or so restaurants have the "$15.99 surf and turf" that is advertised on the marquee. A very helpful security guard leads us the 2.7 miles through the casino to T-bones Chophouse. I ask the hostess if this is the place for the surf and turf, and she hands me a menu and says that it is listed. I see that it is listed as an entree, and costs $99 this evening. Certainly, I have the wrong restaurant. But being the good hostess she is, she presumes that four guys dressed in shorts and T-shirts were looking for less expensive food and tells us that the special is at the cafe, which is thankfully right next door.
6:20 PM - We have finished what could be described as the best coffee shop meal known to man. In addition to the surf and turf special (which, surprisingly only Scott ordered), they had a special in which you picked an appetizer, entry and dessert for $15. I have the quesadillas with guacamole, the prime rib with fresh horseradish and the cheesecake. None of the four of us have anything negative to say about the drink service, taste of the food, presentation, nothing. It could probably be described as the perfect meal for four guys.
6:30 PM - Seated at the poker tournament, $65 buy in and 40 people. Never won a hand. These guys are good. Way good. I see that I am the first one in our group to bust out of the tournament, and I make the stupidest decision of the weekend... I re-enter for another $65. Not only haven't I won a hand, yet, but there is nothing that makes me think I can outsmart these guys even once.
7:00 PM - Out. Lost my second set of chips in a little more than 30 minutes. Ben follows shortly, then Scott. We head of to kill time in this massive casino waiting for Pat.
9:00 PM - But Pat won't lose. Every time we look at him, he has about four chips and says flat out "This won't take long". Meanwhile, while Ben and I hold our own in the casino, Scott is going through Franklins like a sailor on leave. We look in on Pat again. He is now at the final table, but again with about 1/10 the chips as anyone else. Finally, he walks out, and we all agree that we are pokered out. We've his six tournaments in 36 hours and we've had a blast. Now the realization hits that we have spent so much time playing poker that we hadn't noticed that we have to leave for the airport in 12 hours. We head back downtown for that last gamble.
Monday 11-9 @ 2:00 AM - We've lost Scott, loosened up Pat by teaching him the wonders of Pai Gow Poker and Captain 'n' Coke's at Binions, and taught Ben about the Mariano Rivera theory (which says that as soon as a group at a table starts having too much fun or winning too much money, the casino goes to the bullpen for the shut-down closer). In this case, we had been having fun with Sherry all night (with breaks covered by Sally), when suddenly Sherry gets tapped out by Add. Add means business, and looks like she just parked her broom. Her face was a scowl, and wouldn't respond to the standard "So, are you going to be as nice to as Sherry had been?". Pat gets up to go to the cashier, Ben and I play two (losing) hands, and I tell him that Mariano has his stuff tonight. We head back to the Golden Gate.
3:00 AM - On the walk back, I've decided that it was my bedtime. However... we see the craps table with only one other guy playing. Ben had wanted to learn craps, so I told him that it was time for his lesson. It did not take very long before the dice are in his hands. He says that he's nervous, I tell him to just roll them. He makes a point or two, starts to get the hang of it, then I shoot for a while, then the guy next to me. To this point - three shooters - we are around even. Then Ben gets the dice in his hands and goes on a baby-monster run... makes me a hundred bucks or so, and a few bucks for himself. Then I get the dice and I am on fire. I am hitting points within a couple of rolls, and the complete lack of sleep has me pressing my bets to un-Michaelable levels (normally I put $12 on the 6/8, I am up to $36 on each).
During my roll, this seedy guy with chains and a crooked hat wanders to the other end of the table and puts $500 on the Field (a one roll bet, pays even money on 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, double on a 2, triple on a 12). My roll does not win his bet, so he peels off another five hundreds, places them on the field, and loses again. I start to get worried. I tell Ben that I really want to get a 3 for this guy. He then tries to bet $2500 on the field, (but the table max is $2000, so he still has some money left). I specifically remember throwing a 5 - my point, the Field loser. As the dealer pulls his 20 black $100 chips off the table and hands me a few $25 green ones, I ask the dealer if security will keep the guy away from me. I imagine that he can't be happy that I cost him three-grand in about 48 seconds.
He plays the last $500 on the field and it wins (thank you Jesus!), lets it ride and wins again (Lord, hear our prayer!), lets it ride a third time and the roll is a 2 - a double win for him. He takes his $3000 off the table (and gets me off the hook). By the time my roll ends, I am up over $500, and Ben (the rookie) over $100. We cash out and go to bed... my knees still shaking.
10:00 AMish - It's a blur. I text my wife before I go to bed around 4:10 (which is after she got home from walking the dog Monday morning), I get about three hours sleep, go souvenir shopping for the wife and kids, collect the guys, check out of the hotel, return the rental car, and arrive at the airport. I have made a gambling profit, and the cost of the trip itself was so cheap that I believe the gambling covered expenses. But I am sad. Bye-bye Vegas.
12:00 Noon - We finish our overdone burgers in the airport food court, and walk to the gate for our 12:30 flight. They are already boarding, but I see those lonely slot machines on the concourse. I tell Ben that it is a tradition to play the airport slots. I stick $21 into a dollar slot, getting a cherry, once. Within a minute or so, that $21 is gone. Half hour after that, so are we.

UConn qualifies academically for postseason
Recommended Video:
HARTFORD -- Connecticut's men's basketball team, which was barred from the 2013 postseason because of past problems with its Academic Progress Rate, has qualified academically for next year's NCAA tournament.
The Huskies APR for the 2011-12 school year is 947 out of 1000, giving it a two-year score of 962.5, which meets the NCAA's standard.
Under rules implemented in 2011, the NCAA requires a team to have a 900 average over four years or a 930 over two years to qualify for its postseason.
The team's four-year APR of 897 is still lower than the NCAA goal.
The team scored a 978 out of 1000 in 2010-11, the season it won its third NCAA Championship, after two years of scores in the low 800s.
Warde Manuel, the school's athletic director, said he is proud of team's academic effort, especially because they were penalized for problems that predated their enrollment at the university.
"These kids didn't get down on themselves," he said. "They didn't stop performing on the court and they didn't stop performing academically, and that is a credit to those kids."
UConn went 20-10 on the court during the 2012-13 basketball season and likely would have been an NCAA tournament team. But it was barred from both the Big East tournament and the NCAA tournament based on the APR scores from the 2007-08 through 2010-11 academic years.
The school's four-year score last year was 889 and its two-year average was just 902.
Over the past several years, the program put into places changes in an effort to boost the scores. Those include mandated sanctions for any player who misses three or more classes during the academic year and daily checks of course work for student-athletes who have a grade-point average of 2.3 or lower.
Players also are required to attend at least nine hours of summer school each year and adhere to a "graduation plan" created to ensure each player is on a path to graduate, even if they leave school early for the NBA or other opportunities.
"The players really took pride in saying, 'This is not us. We are student-athletes in the true sense of the word'," said Manuel. "They have showed that a one-year ban in the past is not a real indicator of how much they really focus on their academics as well as their athletics. That's the thing that made us, internally, happiest."
Manuel said coach Kevin Ollie has also made it clear to recruits that academics will be a priority, and the school has every reason to believe the APR scores will not be a problem in the future.
"All of the student athletes that are coming in, as well as the current student athletes understand the strong sense of focus we have on the academic side here," he said.

Apparently Bob Friedrich is still smarting from his loss to David Weprin in last month's special election to fill the vacant seat in the 24th Assembly District. Admittedly, it's been a rough couple of months for Friedrich, who lost to David's brother Mark Weprin last November in a City Council race. To make matters even worse, it has the appearance that the Weprin brothers were beating up on Friedrich: the race for the Assembly was to replace Mark Weprin, who left the Assembly to replace his brother David - the new assemblyman - in the City Council.
In both elections, Friedrich, a registered Democrat, ran on the Republican line.
And Friedrich is still smarting over a mailer that David Weprin sent out during the campaign that criticized Friedrich for being soft on hate crimes. What really got under Friedrich's skin, however, was that the mailer featured a Nazi Swastika. And now, nearly a month after the election, Friedrich hasn't let the issue go.
On Monday night, he appeared before the Northeast Queens Jewish to deliver a speech asking the group to denounce the mailer as vicious hate speech. It was going to be a tough crowd for Friedrich - Corey Bearak is the chairman of the group and he also ran Weprin's campaign, and Jack Friedman is the president. Oh yeah, did we mention that he also used to be David Weprin's chief of staff while he was a member of the City Council? We're tracking down more on the evening's events, and will bring them to you next week.
Friedrich also plans to make an appearance before Community Board 8 on Wednesday night (after this paper goes to press) to ask the members of that board to denounce the mailer, as well, details of which we'll bring you next week also.
Perhaps Friedrich really is disturbed that his name was loosely associated with a symbol of hate, and his motive here is to clear his name and unite the community. Again, perhaps. Another possibility is that he is planning to challenge Weprin again this November, and is laying the groundwork for an eventual campaign, one that paints Weprin as a hate-mongerer who divided the community. It's your call.

Underground Racing R8 (Nitto Tire Booth)
UR showed up in force at this years SEMA show. This TT R8 is their latest trip down the rabbit hole of insane speed and horsepower numbers. Tipping well past the 1000hp mark and easily achieving 200mph+ while maintaining an exceptional level of engineering in their new kit.
Underground Racing Aventador (HRE Wheels Booth)
Showcasing a set of HRE's new S1 Wheels in a candy teal finish this unsuspecting super car is actually packing Underground Racing's new twin-turbo kit. Producing 1000hp on pump gas and 1200hp on race gas. What we soon found out about this car besides the newest wheels and UR Twin-Turbo kit, it was owned by the same person with the R8 TT. He decided to bring four of his UR cars, these two were the latest editions to his collection.
VWVortex AWD Super Beetle (H&R Springs Booth)
Using tuner know how and a public forum to fuel fan fare behind this build, the VWVortex crew got the bright idea of mating a Golf R drive train with an insane 500hp turbo beetle motor. Also fitting a set of one-off 18" Fifteen52 Formula over the UK Golf R spec racing brakes. Every time we walked by the car all we could think about was what it would be like to drive the damn thing.
Rado/Hawk BMW 135i (Hawk Booth)
This unsuspecting 135i was packing more of a punch than we expected. Rado (yes Chris Rado) is stepping up his tuning game with a leap into the euro-tuning world. They decided to install a turbonetic single turbo conversation with a cobb tune and spearco intercooler. Giving this micro Bimmer more get up and go than a 1M off the lot, a whopping 478hp at the wheels.
IND Distribution BMW F10 M5 (Falken Tires Booth)
Nestled nicely on KW Clubsport3 suspension and battleship grey BBS wheels, this caged F10 M5 is due for a major overhaul. Currently the car is sporting new intercoolers, a flash, exhaust system, intake and pushing well into the high 11s quarter-mile. The concept for this car was centered around what a F10 M5 Challenge car would look and perform like. We hear phase two for the car involved an engine overhaul to reach the 1000hp mark.

Steve Jobs: The Entire D5 Interview With Walt Mossberg
Here is the entire interview Steve Jobs did with Walt Mossberg on May 30 at D5 in Carlsbad, Calif. For those who have not seen the Apple CEO in action, this is a good opportunity.
Among the wide range of topics: the iPhone, of course, and Jobs talked a lot about it; Apple growth since the Intel transition; the iPod; whether Apple should drop Computer from its corporate name, given all its popular noncomputer products; and a major dig at Microsoft, wherein Jobs called the Windows operating system "hell" and Apple's popular iTunes software on Windows "a glass of ice water."
There is also a demo of new AppleTV features, including the ability to access YouTube with expected goofy videos such as a human slingshot. Also, Jobs said he reads the Fake Steve Jobs blog, but–surprise–does not write it.
If you want to also read Walt's recent review of the iPhone, here is the link, a picture gallery and also a more recent text Q&A with Jobs by Walt.
Here's the video, which is 67 minutes long:

Tips for Dramatic Nighttime Makeup
Even if you're somewhat of a beginner in the makeup world, you eventually develop a routine for your day to day look. What becomes more difficult is figuring out how to really play up certain features for a more dramatic look for a night out. I thought I'd just provide a few suggestions to help you develop your "night look"...
- Utilize bronzer & blush. If you're going out somewhere at night and the lighting is much softer and more dim- you can get away with adding more color to your face. Creating contrast by contouring and highlighting will give your face more definition
- Go for a smokey eye. I have a number of tutorials that will help you with this technique, but in short, use a heavier hand with your eyeshadow than usual. If you normally wear very little shadow in the crease, start small but build up a deeper shade of your choice- slowly blend it out so you can see some shadow forming an "outer V" that's visible when your eyes are open.
- Try mixing in a colorful shadow! If you know you can't get away with it at work, try if for a night out! That's what I do. If you're a little scared of throwing bright blue or pink into your nighttime look, remember this key to making it wearable: BLACK SHADOW. Adding it to the crease or smudging around the lashline will add a nice contrast to bright shades, and give you the dramatic look you're after.
- TRY false lashes! I have a tutorial for this as well. I'm wearing falsies in all of the pictures above and it's a way to immediately add drama to the look- giving your eyes that "pretty" look that people can't quite put their finger on (if you're doing it right :)
- Mix up the lips! I think nudes or deeper shades are great at night. Keep in mind that a nude shade will put more attention on your eyes, and shades of red will give you a more old Hollywood "glam" look. Try doing the opposite of what you'd do on a daily basis- sometimes just the change will be enough to make people look twice!
♥ Emily's Journal ♥
Just got off the phone with Tyler- he has officially completed the bar exam! He says it was quite tough but he thinks he'll pass. I'm so proud of him. It's a lot of pressure to think that the career that lies ahead of you is resting on the results of ONE test. I was never a great test-taker in school. I felt like I studied forever and would still get a little anxious around test time. I did better in circumstances where it was a project I could work on over a period of time, or a paper, speech, etc.
I had the cutest story today at work. SENIOR FEST '09.... no I'm not talking about high school seniors. Senior citizens baby! I get along well with the seniors. They're usually great to interview because they tell it like it is! I've talked to very few seniors that candy coat anything. Even when it comes to talking to me about the station I work at... they won't hesitate to say who they love to watch, who they don't really like, etc. It's a hoot! Anyway, the Senior Fest is basically a bunch of booths set up advertising their services for seniors, and they can test stuff out for free, take home souveniers, etc. There were blood pressure screenings, massages, a camera they'd stick in your ear to check for ear wax?? Yeah. It's the kind of story you really need to get creative with... and fortunately an elderly man in attendance showing off his own magic tricks to me and others became the perfect character. Once the story gets posted online I'll have to pass it along :D
Thanks for stopping by the blog today! Have a good one!

|Forums: Index → Help desk → Ino's editing page
Hi um I need help. I am sort of new here and I like to edit Ino's page but everytime I do it people keep on deleting it. And I get some of these messages sent back to me: "she is not woth editing", "this again I told you she is not worth editing so I will tell you one more time stop editing Ino", and "not a special case". Some of those messages means that they are going to block me for editing it. I read the policies that they can't do that just b/c I'm editing someone's page and that they don't like her. So I was wondering if I could have your permission that I can edit Ino's page w/o anyone deleting it but can fix it if the info isn't sort of right. Please Thank You!--Inoyamanaka98 (talk) 17:02, May 12, 2013 (UTC)Inoyamanaka98
We avoid making filler arc sections for canon characters, since 9 times out of 10, they're not that important during the arc, appearing here and there. This results in disjointed sentences that don't tell a story, so we simply create a section for the arc, and point the reader to the arc page in question. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:06, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I believe that this should be throughly discussed and if agreed upon, added to the policy pages. — SimAnt 19:03, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
I don't think we should just blindly decide each by ourselves what is or isn't worthy to be mentioned. Shouldn't we list likely literary everything? That's a point of an encyclopedia, isn't it? Emitting information due to bias shouldn't be done.--Elveonora (talk) 19:10, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
But on the filler arcs I've made sentences that told a story. If I edited and you read and liked it may it remain there?Inoyamanaka98 (talk) 21:17, May 12, 2013 (UTC)Inoyamanaka98
So the question so far is: do we include completely non-canon information in canon users articles. The current practice of only if they are key players in the arc, or lack enough content on their page from canon appearances needs to clarified and put into policy one way or the other. — SimAnt 21:45, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think content should be excluded strictly on the grounds that the character doesn't do a lot. Characters like Ino don't do much in most canon arcs (i.e. Ino Yamanaka#Five Kage Summit Arc) so to exclude non-canon arcs in which she is merely present is a double-standard. That these non-canon summaries appear disjointed can also be said about the canon summaries. The solution is to write them better.
- There can be exceptions: Naruto's article has enough size issues without non-canon summaries, so merely linking to the arc page is acceptable. But, again, characters like Ino don't have that problem. ~SnapperTo 22:43, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Tenten's page has non-canon information, her entire background section comes from a filler episode if I'm remembering correctly, most of the filler arcs are linked and then have a summary of what she did in the arc, except for two of the more recent filler arcs, which are just linked. TricksterKing (talk) 23:16, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Your saying that I can edit Ino's page with better information?
- Tenten's page has non-canon information, her entire background section comes from a filler episode if I'm remembering correctly, most of the filler arcs are linked and then have a summary of what she did in the arc, except for two of the more recent filler arcs, which are just linked. TricksterKing (talk) 23:16, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Inoyamanaka98 (talk) 16:23, May 18, 2013 (UTC)Inoyamanaka98
Just to be clear, the issue is not adding filler information to character's articles, in sections like backgrounds etc; we're supposed to account for those in any case. Initially, the linking did start on articles like those for Naruto and Sasuke with larger articles, and then started to extend to persons who had scenes that could otherwise be summed up in one line- which made sense to me instead of the "X was seen" and that was it. Now I believe the main issue is that we've never standardised when it should be added. I've never had a problem with adding the information to "bulk" up an article such as Aoba's for example where there's a a slim chance he'll ever take such a centric canon role, but then it comes down to whether or not an article like Ino's is exactly starving for content that could otherwise be linked in the detailed arc sections. That being said, we just need to make a decision as to whether or not we're going to add content, under what conditions, and so forth.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:13, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
I would like you guys to hear this out before you make a decision. If you say no then what was the point of putting all of those people on the wiki when it comes to their roles. I mean I understand about Naruto and Sasuke what I mean is saying no means that all of that work was for nothing its like you said about Aoba he played a role in the war even though he wasn't mentioned till then. I mean the point is if you say no then what's the point of putting them all there in the first place? They each made a debut that is and is not too major on their arcs which is why that all their information needs to be displayed. What about Tenten? She barely made a debut and people still edit her page b/c they think she needs info on with her lack of debut? Some of the characters have a section on their arc that doesn't seem major. Like they were seen mourning the Third Hokage's funeral nothing else. In Konoha History Arc, Team 10 and 7 did a mission though the only person they edit there was Shikamaru's no one else's which is confusing as there was his team and 7 who was there that time. I'm saying this to think about your decision really carefully and what I said. Thank you! Inoyamanaka98 (talk) 18:34, May 19, 2013 (UTC)Inoyamanaka98

Energy Secretary Moniz: Climate Action Must be Swift and Aggressive
May 17, 2014
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Paraphrasing a famous line from the 1967 film, The Graduate, U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz told a Middlebury audience that he could describe the future in two words: "clean energy." Moniz spoke before a full house at Wilson Hall in McCullough Student Center on Friday, May 16, as part of a sustainable energy panel featuring Vermont Senators Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy, Congressman Peter Welch, Gov. Peter Shumlin, and five Vermont sustainable energy leaders.
Moniz, who was touring some of Vermont's energy innovation hubs, opened his 20-minute talk by thanking Middlebury for its contributions to energy sustainability, but also for its contribution of alumna Ercia De Vos '95, who serves as deputy chief of staff at the Department of Energy.
Striking an urgent, yet hopeful, tone, the former MIT physics and engineering professor told the crowd of students, staff, and community members, that the DOE is focused on implementing President Obama's climate action plan, which was issued in June of 2013. He noted that in addition to efforts to mitigate climate change, the administration is working on ways to adapt to changes that have already taken place.
Moniz said the administration's recently released Third National Climate Assessment Report may help shift the public's attention to the urgency of climate change due to its focus on devastating regional impacts. He noted the alarming acceleration of climate change already underway: "I remind you, that assessment report, which is only a week old, is already pre west-Antarctic ice sheet melting and the additional 10 feet of sea level rise that is anticipated just from that event," he said. "Super Storm Sandy could be looking like child's play if we do not really move forward aggressively."
|Secretary Moniz speaks at McCullough Student Center.

One of the ways the DOE can make a direct impact, he said, is through stricter efficiency standards for appliances like walk-in coolers and electric motors. People don't always realize the significant impact of such standards, Moniz said, but the 40 or so standards that will accumulate during the Obama administration will avoid three gigatons of carbon dioxide and half a trillion dollars in energy costs over the next 15 years.
The DOE also takes the lead in technology development and research, Moniz said, with a particular emphasis on cost reduction to drive economic growth in the U.S. and in emerging economies. "We all know there is no solution without a collective global solution and cost reduction is absolutely essential if we are going to bring along that major part of the world's population."
Vermont's congressional delegation and Gov. Shumlin gave similar refrains in their remarks, recognizing the stark dangers of climate change and the opportunities for economic growth through a transformation to clean energy. Shumlin said that Vermont had created 11,000 jobs in the past three years and that more than 1,000 of those were in the solar sector, making Vermont the national leader, per capita, in solar sector jobs.
Five panelists with ties to Vermont sustainable energy initiatives offered different perspectives on projects taking place around the state. Middlebury's director of sustainability integration Jack Byrne, Green Mountain Power CEO Mary Powell, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation's Scott Johnstone, University of Vermont professor and researcher Paul Hines, and community energy volunteer and natural resources expert Jamison Ervin each gave 5-minute overviews of their work.
Sen. Sanders, who organized the energy secretary's visit to Vermont, said he thinks Vermont, with its progressive approach and numerous achievements, has a key role to play in leading a global transformation to clean energy. "We know, given the enormity of the problem, given the fact that the scientific community is telling us, that the window of opportunity is narrowing," said Sanders. "I believe that this small state can lead the nation and that the United States can lead the world."

By Lateef Mungin and Joe Sutton, CNN
(CNN) — They came from all over, police say, and at least one carried condoms in his pocket.
A middle school teacher, a tourist visiting from Turkey, college students, a businessman from North Carolina. All of them were arrested in a week-long law enforcement operation, which ended Monday, that targeted men seeking sex with children.
About 16 Florida law enforcement agencies came together to create the ruse that the suspects were chatting online with children or parents offering up their kids for sex.
The men drove down to a pristine home in the city of Oviedo, about 19 miles from Orlando.
Footage released by authorities captured their surprise as their illicit date turned into a rough tackle by a posse of officers.
The black and white footage shows officers slamming the men against the wall of the home before cuffing them. At least one man led police on a brief footchase in the front yard before they took him down.
One of the men, authorities said, was a Florida high school English teacher who arrived at the decoy home with condoms in his pocket planning to have sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Before coming to the home, he sent photos of himself to the undercover officer, Florida detectives said.
"He said he had a lot to lose," Seminole County Maj. Dennis Lemma told reporters.
A middle school science teacher arrived, planning to have sex with a 14-year-old boy, authorities said.
Another man arrested was an elementary school interpreter for deaf children, investigators said, who had posted an online advertisement for a 13-year-old boy.
A middle school janitor also turned up, police said.
In all, 50 suspects were arrested. They ranged in ages of 19 to 60.
